POSSESSION ,
property .
The detention or enjoyment of a thing which a man holds or exercises by himself or by another who keeps or exercises it in his name .
By the possession of a thing ,
we always conceive the condition ,
in which not only one '
s own dealing with the thing is physically possible ,
but every other person '
s dealing with it is capable of being excluded .
Thus ,
the seaman possesses his ship ,
but not the water in which it moves ,
although he makes each subserve his purpose .

In order to complete a possession two things are required .
1st .
That there be an occupancy ,
apprehension , (
q .
v .)
or taking .
2dly .
That the taking be with an intent to possess (
animus possidendi ),
hence persons who have no legal wills ,
as children and idiots ,
cannot possess or acquire possession .
